In what form is landing
Planting a flower in the open ground is done by seedlings. The maximum shelf life does not exceed 2-2.5 months, but it is still recommended to plant a flower immediately after purchase. This will minimize the risks of death of the flower. Roses are usually sold in special containers, which greatly facilitates the procedure. In the store, it is preferable to choose a plant grown in the same climatic region where planting will be carried out.

At the same time, chaotic movement of ant colonies is characteristic. If the prepared broth was not effective, it is recommended to buy insecticides;
- in early spring, leafworms can take root on the leaves. They gnaw out buds and young shoots. To do this, at the beginning of the season, the bushes are treated with insecticides.
Also, gardeners note the appearance of the following diseases:
- powdery mildew, which is formed due to excessive moisture and high humidity. It is characterized by the formation of powdery white plaque;
- black spotting - this disease is characterized by the formation of brown spots on the underside of the leaves.
